When I was a wee lad, my mom used to put green food coloring in our oatmeal for breakfast on St. Patty's Day. Needless to say, before I discovered beer, my favorite part of the holiday was pooping neon green.

There are alcohols that will fuck you up more.

There are alcohols that will make you more of an embarrassing mess.

There are alcohols that will give you worse hangovers, that will make you vomit more.

But there ain't nothing more flat-out disgusting than gin.

It tastes like burning.

I think it was Lore who described gin like blowing a Christmas Tree? Memory fails me, but I hate gin.

Green beer is hella crass. I've heard that there are some towns that dye their rivers green for St. Patrick's Day...what the hell, people! How could they do that without hurting the river's inhabitants? Bastards.

I really want to like gin, mainly because I am annoyed by the proliferation of vodka martinis and want to be a purist so I can dig my heels in about the issue.  But I'll be damned if that's ever gonna happen.  You'd think a drink that tastes like distilled new car smell would be more palatable than that.

Oh, to be that young again, before I fell in love with gin. Gin is the choice of civilized drunks. If you aren't drinking gin, you might as well be lapping up Olde English 800 out of the dog's bowl.

One time my former roommate drank a handle of Seagram's Lime Twisted Gin in a night.

Before we knew he would drink it all, we made fun of the fact that he was taking shots of gin (EHHH!), and he responded by saying something to the effect of it is only 35 percent since it is lime twisted or something.  The guy is 21 and already has Liver polyps (sp?). 

That is an alcoholic.  That is not civilized.



Also, gin is good in drinks.  Just as good as any other liquor.

Acap: I was thirsty one day and I sat down. A year later, Jack's was built around me and thirst is a recurring thing.

Oh my.  Oh me Oh my. 

I ruined gin for myself before I got started.  Back when I was 17, the spring before graduation, I developed quite a taste for the stuff.  So what did I take to the graduation party but a quart of Beefeater.  Which I proceeded to drink 3/4's of.

It was but the first of many drunken vomits.  But it was of such depth and quality that it's effected me to this day.  I haven't touched a drop of gin since 1983, nor have I felt the slightest temptation to try it.

Jesus Christ on a bike, that's fucked up. Do you think it is rad to have alcoholism, KH's ex-roommate.

(Also, he is 22, I am 21).

And yes, he does think it is awesome to have alcoholism.  It gets pretty annoying to me, because he is not a very good drunk.

I've seen my brother polish off a 5-litre box of wine in a sitting, complain that there isn't more and then still have to take four diphenhydramine pills to be able to fall asleep that night. My brother is pretty much frightening at times.

This guy is essentially the same way.  One time he stole my camelback so he could drink however much it holds full of Franzia during a 50 minute class.  I think that was like 2 liters, but I don't remember.


I am the same way, but with pot, so it is much chiller.  For instance, I don't just say bitch over and over again at the end of the night, I don't fall through doors, have liver polyps, etc.

A large bottle of Evan Williams and a 2-liter RC cola.

Not good times. I fell through a window.

I haven't really been drinking very much at all since I graduated from college in June.

Well, there was the time back in September when I temporarily blacked out in an alley in Munich, but that's neither here nor there.

I also found out about good old Evan from the same kid.

Also, Early Times.  I love the names of cheap whiskeys.
